Professional Chimney Repointing Services in Southborough & Across Kent

Many homeowners don't realise their chimney needs attention until they spot a leak inside their property. However, there are often earlier warning signs. Keep an eye out for crumbling or sandy mortar joints, especially when you can easily rake it out with a key. You might also notice loose bricks, moss or lichen growing on the mortar rather than just the bricks, or damp patches appearing on internal walls or ceilings near the chimney breast. If you've seen any of these issues, it's time to get a professional assessment. We offer clear, honest advice and a thorough inspection to determine the exact needs of your chimney.

When we undertake a chimney repointing job, we approach it with precision and care. First, we safely access the chimney, often using scaffolding to make certain our team can work securely and effectively. We then carefully rake out the old, failing mortar to a consistent depth. After thoroughly cleaning the joints, we apply new, high-quality mortar specifically chosen to match your existing brickwork and the local weather conditions. We use traditional techniques combined with modern materials for a long-lasting, weatherproof finish. Every detail, from the bedding of the bricks to the finishing of the joints, gets our meticulous attention, leaving you with a chimney that not only looks great but performs flawlessly.

While repointing is a core part of our chimney services, we understand that chimneys often need a little more care. During our inspection, we can also identify and fix other common chimney problems. This includes repairing or replacing damaged lead flashing around the base of the chimney, which is critical for preventing leaks where the chimney meets the roof. We also handle chimney stack rebuilding if bricks are severely damaged, re-bedding or replacing loose chimney pots, and addressing any issues with the chimney flaunching (the mortar cap at the top that sheds water). Our aim is to provide a complete solution for your chimney’s health.
